Goodness, I tell y'all that I'm gonna get back to blogging and what do I do? I don't. :P Actually, I just haven't been on the computer much at all since I quit Buzz. I regularly check a few sites, update my Facebook from time-to-time and sometimes listen to music and look up some things. I've actually been enjoying a break from using the computer so much.

So, I won't be blogging as much as I planned, But I will be blogging some. Perhaps every week or every couple of weeks.

God bless!

Oh, The Insanity!

Hello, lovely people who might happen upon this poor, neglected blog!

I've been thinking. I'm gonna try to come back to blogging for a while. I might even do some interesting things on here, like writing some more insightful posts than I have in the past, perhaps posting pictures.

I decided to give up Google Buzz. It was one of those things that was holding me back, but I think if I plan it and do it right, coming back to blogging could actually be great!

However, if blogging doesn't seem to turn out for me, I'll go on a hiatus in September and decide if I wanna continue blogging or not.

Anyway, for an update on life, our a/c is out for like, the 8th time or so this year! UGH! And, this is summer in Texas, the heat is unbearable! Oh well, we're finding ways to make do and stay fairly cool. And hopefully we'll have an a/c guy out here to fix it soon.

And, I got my stitches out, but then just a few minutes ago I stubbed my toe and tore the cut back open... Ugh. Well, I'll make do with that too.

Oh, and go take the tome to go vote for the Whole Hearts Foundation to get a 50,000 dollar grant from Pepsi! http://www.refresheverything.com/wholehearts

God bless!

Doors Are Dangerous! Use With Caution.

First, I'd like to say HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, EVERYONE! :D

I posted this on Facebook earlier.

Today is Independence Day. The day we celebrate this country and it's wonderful freedoms. (That we are slowly losing.) Let us remember that though our military protects our freedom on the outside, they don't from the inside. It is the choices of each of us, the people of America (citizens and government alike) that will protect or destroy our independence.

Remember that Freedom comes at a price.

My favorite singer posted this quote today and I wanted to share.

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed it ourselves." - Abraham Lincoln

So, now you may be wondering about the title of this post. Well, yesterday, I opened a door at Sears and accidentally pulled it over my foot, (I was wearing flip flops) and the next thing I knew I was bleeding faster than I'd ever bled before. Typical me though, I stuck a kneenex between my toes to slow the bleeding and quickly continued my mission. However, I was losing enough blood that I went into minor shock and got all shaky and weird. When I got back out to the car, my mom (who'd been circling the mall while waiting on me to get back.) took one quick look at it and said I'd need to see a doctor. Great... So, we talked to the manager at Sears and filed an injury report (we're hoping they'll pay the medical expenses.) and then went to a clinic.

Twelve stitches later and I still held my reputation of being calm and tough wherever doctors and tough situations are involved. But I left blood all over...

Well, that was an adventure!

God bless!

Hello, Bloggy World!

I hath been absent again! Where have I been? Doing lots of stuff...

I joined a youth group and I'm loving it! I missed such things. I've only been going three weeks now though, so I haven't really made any friends there yet. Hopefully I will soon though! The music is nice, very uplifting, and I like the youth pastor.

We got a new car. Did I mention that? She's dark red and needs a name. And she has air conditioning!! AH! Wonderful! I so missed air conditioning!

My best friend, who lives in another state, hasn't been online much, though I'm chatting with her on g-mail now! Ah, how I miss that lovely girl!

Photographing lightning is hard! I got a kind of stinky shot of it about a week ago, but I'd love something better! I'll keep trying! I'm on a photography scavenger hunt, and one of the things I need to get is lightning. Another thing is body art... Trouble with that is that I don't know anyone nearby that has a tattoo, and I've had a hard time working up the courage to ask some stranger if I can take a picture of their tattoo. Haha.

I edited that song in the post below this one. Shall I post the new version or not? I thought it was a lot better.

Well, that is all for now. I feel like changes are just around the corner, and that cool with me. I like change. Gives me something to talk and blog about. ;)

God bless y'all!

Stars (Temporary title)

I wrote a new song. It's probably my most unique song. I imagine it being a rather epic sounding ballad. It's temporarily titled "Stars". I think it needs a better name though. I'm not good at naming. Haha.

Let me know what you think!

God bless!

Dead trees sway,

All around the icy cold lake,

You've reason to be afraid,

Standing there,

Shaking in dread fear,

Voices whisper,

"You could always turn back,

To the realm of black,"

Voices whisper,

"Just follow the shining stars,

To God,"

Grace shines bright,

Like a northern star,

Dancing in the dead of night,

Healing broken hearts,

So theycan once more fly,

Standing at the water's edge,

I know you can cross the waves,

Though there is no bridge,

You're not alone, have faith,

And voices whisper,

"You could always turn back,

To the realm of black,"

Voices whisper,

"Just follow the shining stars,

To God,"

Grace shines bright,

Like a northern star,

Dancing in the dead of night,

Healing broken hearts,

So they can once more fly,

It's starting to rain,

Just take my hand,

And cross the waves,

I'll lead you to dry land,

Voices whisper,

"You could always turn back,

To the realm of black,"

Voices whisper,

"Just follow the shining stars,

To God,"

Grace shines bright,

Like a northern star,

Dancing in the dead of night,

Healing broken hearts,

So they can once more fly.

THIS BLOG IS NOT DEAD!!!!

Augh! Why can't I find the motivation to write! I've got like, the worst case of writer's block ever! How does one cure writer's block? Maybe more followers? *Hint, hint* lol. At least more comments.

My Poor Neglected Blog....

I keep starting posts and not finishing. I'll try to get back to really blogging soon! In the meantime I'll see if I can FINALLY get over this stinking illness. :P (Yeah, I've been sick, as has almost everyone else in my family.)

I also need to get caught up on e-mails and other things. I'm so behind! :P

God bless!

(And don't get sick!!)
